Old crossmember removed with the plasma

Definitely knackered

Cleaned up for welding

The new one is mounted and tacked in place welding tomorrow

Nahhh it's all about the experience

 

[200tdi ayre]

Need to practice cutting a straight line

Doesn't make a difference to what I'm doing the plates are over the top, freehand with a plasma is hard to get straight

soap stone line works

 

[200tdi ayre]

If I was doing anything where it mattered about straightness I'd use a guide or similar but in this case I just ground it smooth and it'll be boxed in by plates so not worried, the rails are in pretty good nick which is good

Welded on now just doing the tow bar points and body mount and the weldings done

Not robot quality yet but I'm always improving I was very happy with the join to the crossmember

 

[200tdi ayre]

Painted with primer

Next time ill paint the crossmember first and then touch up after

 

[Thor1950]

put some primer on the bottom of the back door

 

[200tdi ayre]

put some primer on the bottom of the back door

Paint doesn't stop rust

put some primer on the bottom of the back door

Paint doesn't stop rust

And primer is porous, So will flake of eventually

 

[200tdi ayre]

Finished

Just gotta add mud flaps when the brackets arrive

The chassis legs were primed then coated in this

Can't recommend it enough, dries hard and protects from everything

Gave the loom an extra wrap of insulation tape to protect it abit more. Was a pain to pull it back through though as the welding had melted the rope I used to tie off and so I had to retread a rope through the chassis to pull the loom through bigger rope next time !
